This movement. I am advised, hai (he bacsrinc; of prominent cllisens. bota men and women. 1 The motion picture may he of irreat edu rational and moral value and there also Is no doubt tnat it may be an Instrument of harm and have detrimental effects. 1 m-ould like to see a movement for better pictures succeed. This movement, which has the backing and indorsement of the Motion-Picture I.eairue of Oregon, Seems to be a step in the right direction.

Kent, general manager of the Famous Players-Lasky corporation: Herman Wobber, district manager: M. L. Lewis, special representative, and I. N. Salsbury visited Portland the first part of the week" and con ferred with C. M. Hill, local repre sentative. The four film men are making an extensive tour of the United States to study conditions In the motion-picture industry. e e A film called "Nobody" Is booked for the Liberty August 27. Through a strange chain of circumstances no body at the Liberty theater has seen it or knows what it Is all about, e e Henri Keates has planned a thrill for his audience at the noon -concert today at the Liberty. In connection with his first number, "Before the Mast," he will stage a howling thun der storm, using the largest pipes on the big Liberty organ. For this ef fect four l-foot pipes and four 32 foot pipes are operated. Evidence of the power of the organ was given at a recent rehearsal of the storm number, when several pictures were knocked off the walls as a result of the rumbling blasts from the mam moth music box. An interesting part of this organ is the array of buttons through which Keates operates various sound effects. By merely pushing the proper button he can get the sound of a bird singing or the harsh shriek of an ambulance siren. Other effects are for broken glass, a train, aero plane, ticking clock, bell, music box. wind and an automobile. Keates' complete programme for the concert today will be as follows: Jiefore the Mast (a nautical -march) . . L.. Iaurendeau Andantino . .Lemar PprinB. Beautiful SprinK Paul Lincae Selections from the Chocolate Soldier. . Straues Stars and Stripes Forever, as played by rive uuierent nations. e A versatile worker 1s Harry Barney. who is temporarily filling the post of doorman at the Liberty theater. Bar ney has served in half a dozen capaci ties arouna the theater and is a priest of a local Russian church. mm The 'familiar figure of "Big John" Collins is missing from his old stand at the entrance to the Liberty. The giant doorman is enjoying a two weeks' vacation at Oregon beaches. m m m A number of renovations are planned for the Jensen & Von Herberg houses for the fall season. Estimates on an array of ' artistic drapes have been submitted and some new electric light fixtures will be installed. Portland film men are discussing with Interest the opening of the new Liberty theater of Great Falls., Mont., next Tuesday night. The house was built by Jensen & Von Herberg at a cost of $350,000 and was under con struction for more than a year. Mrs. C. S. Jensen left during the week for Butte, where she will be godmother at the christening of a recent arrival in the household of P. M. Sullivan Patey) Sullivan, manager of the Rialto theater of Butte and widely known among local picture folk. e Darrell Cole, baritone. Is playing an engagement at the Liberty. He comes to Portland with a record of successful appearances at Grauman's. the California and other leading pic ture houses of Los Angeles. His pro grammes here are selected from three numbers, "Road to Mandalay," "A Son. of the Desert Am I" and "Gypsy Love Song." e The Sunday noon concert at the Rivoli theater today will be built around the appearance of Miss Tosca Berger, the young New Zealand virtuoso, who- has won her way into the hearts of so many Rivoli patrons during the past .week. Miss Berger has won so many friends by her won derful work the past week that Gus A. Metzger, owner of the Rivoli, has prevailed on her father to postpone a San Francisco engagement and to remain over at th Rivoli for this week. Miss Berger at today's con cert will play concerto No. 4 en re Mineur. Op. 31. by -H. Vieuxtemps. This, recognized as a most difficult composition, is- one which taxes the most accomplished musician. The ac companiment will be played by Salva tore Santaella, Rivoli pianist. Miss Berger will appear every afternoon and evening this week at each per formance. Following is the noon programme today: "Zaropa." overture F. Herold "Extase" Louis Ganne "Flo-Flo." selection Silvio Heln Violin concerto. No. IV. en Re Mlnenr Oj- 31 H.

C. Stille of the Rivoli theater. Pierong has been manager of Pantages theater in Ta coma, but has been chosen to open- a new Pantages theater In Kansas City. The new show house is built along lines similar to the- Rivoli, for it occupies space in the center of the block with a long, narrow lobby. The front of the building is adorned with an immense tower 125 feet In height surmounted by a large revolving ball of lights spelling the name "Pan tages." -.. Miss ,Tosca Berger, the violin vir tuoso now playing at the Rivoli; her father and mother, J. C. Stille, man ager of the Rjvoll, and Salvatore Santaella, the pianist, were guests at a house party Wednesday at the home of F. Starke, the Rivoli oboe player, at Multnomah station.

Lewis Stone, Myrtle Stedman, Raymond Hatton and Julienne Scott are cast in the four principal roles. Stone, who has Ditrichstein's part, is said to give a faithful rendition of the role, both In its numerous comedy features as well as its serious ones. e 'm m Cecil Teague's programme for his e-ei LIBERTY THEATER BOOSTS 1925 EXPOSITION WITH ELECTRIC DISPLAY. v ,1? ff - :f y. 1 r if- S A A:, 'is ci It AAd 1 1 - I ELECTRIC LIGHTS K L.A S H B S OVER T H IS A X K It UVILDING.

FrLml 'aiy Man" "Wang Wang Blues'" NEW YORK STORY AT PEOPLES Elaine Haniroerstein- to Present -"The Miracle of Manhattan." How long can a young woman ex ist in New Tork on J13? This is one of several Interesting questions that arise in Elaine Hamraerstein's latest Kfcicture, The Miracle of Manhattan," which isjiow showing at the Peoples. The picture is said- to differ in every respect from preceding productions in which this popular star has appeared. The story, by Bradley King, deals with a young society bud who is un der the imression that it is a simple matter for any young woman to make her way n the world, alone and un assisted. An opportunity arises in which she is able to put her theory to the test and she makes an attempt to earn her own living. She finds! the problem not as simple as it had seemed and is about to give up in despair when she finally secures work as a cabaret singer. Here she is thrown in direct contact with types of people she never even knew ex isted. How a romance springs up between her and an ex-gangster and its subsequent denouement amid most dramatic surroundings and circum stances is shown In a vivid manner. The locale of the story takes place almost entirely in New York and the scenes vary from the ballroom of the "400" to the interior of a cheap cabaret. Miss Hammerstein's leading man for this occasion is Matt Moore, brother of the star, Owen Moore. Other members of the supporting cast include Ellen Cassity, Nora Reed, L nora pttinger and Jack Raymond. MAJKSTIC HAS JOINT STARS i Wesley Barry Appears on Screen With Katherine MacDonald. ' For the first time in the career of either tar, Wasley Barry has been cast in a production with Katherine MacDonald in her starring vehicle, "Stranger Than Fiction," at the Majestic. - ' The picture is from an original story by Charles Richman and A. S. LeVino. For bright comedy-drama that sparkles with originality and clever situations, this is declared to 1x3 "one of Miss MacDonald's best pic tures. Wesley Barry takes the part of "Freckles." a role that is somewhat reminiscent of "Dinty" in that it places him in the part of a poor little orphan whom Fate has placed among crooks and In a slum atmosphere. The little fellow attracts the atten tion of Diane Drexel. . society girl, played by Miss MacDonald, during one or her visits to the slums. She takes him into her fashionable home. Some splendid comedy situations arise Be a result of the fact that 13-year-old Freckles falls la love with his beautiful protector. Into the story Is woven a blever plot that deals with the efforts of society to cope with criminals. When the police force of one of the larger cities fails to apprehend the "Black Heart Gang," society takes a hand with the result that the gang is fin ally caught; but not until the audi ence has enjoyed many a thrill and many a gripping situation. , , Among the exciting moments in "Stranger Than Fiction" is a battle in the air. in which one of the con testants, with his parachute strapped to his back, leaps from the burning machine and la rescued by another airplane. It 13 probable that this stunt bas never before been seen on the screen. UOB.UIT BOS WORTH AT R I VOLT eaters his life, his scheme is aban doned. An unusually clever cast of players was chosen by Hart for his support in "The Whistle." Myrtle Steadman. the leading woman, is a charmig actress who won tame as a prima donna in light opera and musical com edy. Frank Brownlee. who has a strong role, is a famous "heavy" of stage and 6creen. Three excellent was with Hart in "The Toll Gate Georgie Stone, who supported Hart in "The Poppy Girl's Husbaoit." and who was the Belgian bov in "Till I Come Back to You." and Will Jim Hatton, a child of promise.

The nublic. know of Hnhart Bos- worth primarily as "The Sea Wolf" Juv.eni'e. actors add novelty to the ..t i t . . cast- They are Richard Headrick. who rockbound coasts and fierce con quests. But a different view of Hobart Bosworth than the foregoing is af forded at the Rivoli in "A Thousand to One," produced by J. Parker Read Jr., a picture of Bosworth as a versatile artist. - Hobart Bosworth has been a popu lar favorite -on stage and screen for many years. He was one of the motion picture pioneers one of the very first of the coterie of men who wrote, directed, acted in and dis tributed their own productions. It was his influence, that caused the conversion of Jack London to the cinema and led the great author to lend his . influence to the screen. Bosworth, incidentally, was the first man to star in London s works, aa oi them well-remembered motion pic ture classics. It was Bosworth, too, who induced the widow of Jack London, Charmian K. London, to write for the screen. The star is noted for his educational and propagandists work for the up lift ef motion pictures. He has been the champion of "clean and better pictures" for many years and his ef forts have not been unavailing. In "A Thousand to One," the story founded on Max Brand's novel, "Fate's Honeymoon." the star appears to have found a splendid vehicle for his art. In the supporting cast ara EtheJ Grey Terry, the popular leading wom an; Landers Stevens. J. Gordon Rus sell, Fred Kohler and Charles West. A, Mack Sennett comedy-and a Priz ma scenic are also on the Rivoli screen programme. Miss Tosca Ber ger, brilliant and youthful violinist, has been held over for another week. 'THE WHISTLE IS AT L1B14RTY Bill Hart Appears In Novel Role ' of Mill Foreman. William S. Hart, famous portrayer of western bad. men's rolea. has a novel role that of a mill foreman. In his latest picture, "The Whistle," which is the feature at the Liberty. Although "The Whistle" is said to be equal to "The Testing Block" and "O'Mallay of the Mounted" in its pull ing power, it Is not. like these two productions, a western picture. "The Whistle" deals with an interesting phase of industrial life. The story is dramatic and the various situations, including a characteristic Hart fist fight, are thrilling. Hart has the role of a mill foreman, who fights for the rights of the mill and for protection against accidents, and when his own son is killed in an un guarded shafting, he plans vengeance against his negligent employer. He saves the child of a mill owner from drowning and disappears with the in fant, whom he rears as his own son in order to "make him jump at the -sound of the whistle." But when a good woman, the mother of the hoy. GLOBE llth and Washington Wesley Barry FIIiM COMIC AT HIPPODROME Movie Develops- Quirks or Jealousy in Married Life. "The Concert" will be the photo play feature at the Hippodrome to day. It la the story of a celebrated music master whose power over women clings to him in spite of his advancing age. One of those to be fascinated is the beautiful young wife of a physician. The young woman induces Mar tinet, the music master, to take her to his hunting lodge in the moun tains, but his wife and the physician learn what is going on and depart for the same destination. While on the trip they conclude that the best way Is to fight the devil with ' fire, and after reaching the hunting lodge they begin to make love very conspicuously. Neither the musician nor the run away wife could appreciate the new situation. In the place of affection there at once developed jealousy. When the doctor and the maestro's wife had accomplished this they broke the truth to the maestro. He realizes his ridiculous position and beseeches the forgiveness of his wife. The doctor's wife also seeks refugs in her husband's affections. "SALVATION NELL" IS HERE Film of New York's East Side to Be Shown at Columbia. An absorbing and dramatic story of life in the tenements of New York's east side is presented in the picturiza tion of "Salvation Nell," the Edward Sheldon play in which Minnie Mad dern Fiske starred on the speaking stage and which holds the screen at the Columbia. No finer tribute to the achieve ments of that wonderful body of men and .women who constitute the Salva tion' Army has ever been paid by the silent drama than the screen version of "Salvation Nell." The locale is New York's east side, where amidst the tenements, the sa loons and dives the Salvation Army works its wonders for humanity. It is the very human story of a homeless young woman in a most unhappy en vironment.
